अर्थMeaning
The Rikas, the Yagûmshi, and the Sâmâni form eight syllables. One foot (the second) of the Gâyatrî consists of eight syllables. This (one foot) of it is that (i.e. the three Vedas, the Rig-veda, Yagur-veda, and Sama-veda). And he who thus knows that foot of it, conquers as far as that threefold knowledge extends.

व्याख्याVyakhya
ऋचाएँ, यजुष् और साम — ये आठ अक्षर हैं। गायत्री का एक पद आठ अक्षरों का होता है। गायत्री का यह पद यही है। जो इसका यह पद ऐसा जानता है, वह उतने तक जीतता है जितनी यह त्रयी विद्या है।
